Araneta

Below is a description of the details for the Jazzphil-Araneta sponsored “Weekend Live Jazz” series. Among other requirements, participating band members must be paid-up or honorary members of the Jazz Society of the Philippines. As of May, 2005, please note that the WEEKEND JAZZ Gig Guide has been integrated with the Jazz Calendar.

PROJECT: “WEEKEND LIVE JAZZ”

Weekend Live Jazz is a series of gigs to draw people to the Gateway Mall via live entertainment. Jazz has been the preferred genre as it is in line with the image they want to set for Gateway Mall. 

THEMED NIGHTS

The gigs are to be held on Fridays and Saturdays.  Each night has a concept.

LATIN Fridays
FUSION Saturdays

SCHEDULE

The project is from April to September 2005. The gig schedule per night is as follows:

Fridays: 7-9 PM 2sets of 45 minutes
Saturdays: 7-9 PM  2sets of 45 minutes

PROMOTION

The Araneta Center shall advertise the project and the featured artists using media ads and on-site merchandising materials around the Araneta Center and the Gateway Mall.

THE ARTISTS

The artists participating in the Weekend Live Jazz series collectively represent the Jazz Society of the Philippines. It is recommended that all of these artists become bonafide members of Jazzphil, and as of this posting, not all who have signed up are Jazzphil members. This way the jazz community can promote jazz through this project “as one unified community”.

Each themed night shall have a pool of artists/groups that will alternate every weekend. The objective is to have a different group every week and for one group to perform one show every month.  Some groups may get to perform two shows a month depending on availability.

There should be around 12-15 groups for the whole project.

All performances will have vocals.
